Leave a Comment for a Chance to Win a $50 Sephora E-GIFT CARD! (Ends Monday)

April 2nd, 2016 by Karen 406 Comments

** THE GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED **

This giveaway is closed, and the winner has been contacted (CONGRATULATIONS, CHRISTINE!!!), but check back next Saturday for another giveaway.

Win a $50 Sephora e-gift card!
Win a $50 Sephora e-gift card!

Every day is a new adventure around here. Just when I think I’ve figured something out, like a good routine to get Connor Claire fed and soothed to sleep for a couple of hours at a time, nope! — something new happens.

She was so fussy last night. Not even Uncle Tabby’s amazing nanny services could soothe her. She was incorrigible… Now watch her sleep all day long today, LOL!

Rise and shine, morning glory! Happy Caturday!

That reminds me… I bet you probably realize by now that yesterday was April Fool’s Day. Sadly, this means that the grand opening of the new Novato Cat Cafe & Cosmetics has been delayed. 🙂

In other news, I got out of the cave/house for two whole hours yesterday, and it was glorious! My parents visited and offered to watch Connor, so El Hub and I sneaked away to the mall. We got coffee, See’s candy and window shopped like real grownup people! It was the most exciting thing I’ve done in a month.

    Yay! So glad you got out of the house for a few hours! I have a crap ton of nail polish. I actually plan on going through it this weekend and reorganize it and get rid of polishes I haven’t used. I have probably about 200 bottles, give or take.

    My all time favorite boy band is Duran Duran! Listening to them right now while I’m cleaning the house and I’m going to see them in July!! I’m so excited and CANNOT WAIT!!

    Karen, I’m so happy that you and El Hub got out of the house yesterday 🙂

    Now what you need to do is get Connor Claire out of the house, too! That was the only thing that helped when my son went through that fussy, crying phase. I bundled him up in the sling and we went to the neighborhood Little League games. Fresh and and fresh faces to fuss over how cute he was worked wonders. I hope you find something that works for your little one as well 🙂

    I have Make Up For Ever Artist Shadows in dozens of colors — some of the shades make great blushes or contour powders as well as eyeshadows! And several shades of MUFE’s Rouge Artist Natural lipstick — and several shades of Urban Decay Revolution lipstick, Tom Ford Lips & Boys, and Colour Pop Ultra Satin lip colors, too. When I find a formula I love, it seems like I want it in all the pretty colors!

    – I have a lot of gold eyeshadows, in different shades and finishes. I went through a serious phase of them when I first started out with makeup. Even though I threw out/gave away a good portion, I still have a lot left.
    – I like to mix lip products together, especially to make ones that don’t work for me work. I got my best friend onto it too 🙂

    I have tons and tons of nail polishes. Many of them really close dupes for each other. I’m going through them now and keeping the best red, the best coral, the best taupe, etc. A lot of my decision of which ones to keep has to do with how long the formula lasts on my nails before chipping. It means I’m keeping a lot of indie polishes and my Tom Fords.
    Glad you were able to get out of the house. I agree with Fran, now you need to work on taking Connor Claire out. Even if it’s only for a 15 minute walk, now that the weather is getting better here in NorCal, it would be great for Connor to get some fresh air. I couldn’t carry my BG in a sling because my back seriously hurt because of my weakened abs from the C-section, so I’d put her in the stroller (ours could be made to lay flat) and take her out for a walk. Sometimes she’d squall for the whole 15 to 20 minutes we were outside but it did seem to make her quieter later in the day. I’d also put her in the car seat and drive. We were living in The Netherlands at the time and I remember once I drove all the way to Germany. Stopped for gas in Germany, turned around and drove home. She stayed asleep even after I took the car seat out of the car. Another thing that helped was one of the bouncy rockers or we had a baby swing for her. Not sure if those are considered safe or even sold here in the U.S.

    Omg, yes for taking a break from the baby! They can be a handful so it’s nice that you got some time off to spend time with the hubby.

    I actually love mixing Camelia oil and Rose hip oil for a whole lot of benefit for the skin (In which both must be pure). And you can always mix this with your foundation to get a dewy finish too.

    Amazonian clay : yes! I used to have very oily skin before and now I noticed my skin changing to combination in the more recent months (due to getting older?). Clay works great as a 2-in-1 formula. I can treat both the oily and drier areas of my face with only 1 product saving money and time. And it probably does a better job than if I were to use 2 different products together !

    Such good questions! If with the first question you mean specific product by a specific brand, I have a most of the Nars Audacious lipstick line (still my favorite lip products ever!), many MAC lipsticks, many Ofra liquid lipsticks, some other brands I have several but less than 10. I have a shameful number of OPI, Julep, and China Glaze nail polishes as well! I have most of the Clinique color pop blushes also, love those.

    I really like to mix foundations together. My favorite mix, that I use most often, is Marc Jacobs Remarcable with a couple drops of Too Faced Born This Way and a smidge of Givenchy Teint Couture Balm.

    I definitely don’t agree with the advise that “older” women shouldn’t wear vibrant colors of makeup. We deserve to have fun too! Besides that, I get way more compliments when I wear blue and green eyeshadows and dark or vibrant lip colors than when I wear nudes!

    Yes on Amazonian Clay! My favorite product is the Full Coverage Foundation, my second go-to after my Holy Grail Marc Jacobs Remarcable.

    What do I have that I have in multiple colors? I guess an eye shadow palette by stila and some Clinique chubby sticks, but I have to say… That stila palette isn’t very pigmented so I’m switching. I honestly can’t decide between the chocolate bar palette by too faced or the naked smokey palette. Any ideas anyone? With the Sephora sale coming up, I just might get a new palette! Thoughts?

    I’m completely undecided when it comes to BB cream. I love it for a few days, then I’m so over it. And this cycle repeats itself every 2 weeks or so. It looks great but feels tacky which I can’t stand.

    Accessories I basically have in all colors. I thought of eye shadows, lipsticks, nail polish and clothes but all those categories lack some hues because not all colors work with my complexion. Alas, accessories I have in almost every color because wearing a color that is not the best for me, really works as an accessorie.

    I don’t really mix any foundations, but I say yes to Amazonian clay!! Also a beauty tipi say no to is the tape on the eyes because I feel like that damages your skin and may give you premature wrinkles another one I don’t agree with is over lining the lips to get that Kylie Jenner look. I have a lot of milani liquid lipsticks in different shades also the matte wet n wild matte lipsticks.

    Here’s something I am into lately: blending bronzers with MAC Mineralize Skinfinish to make a “glowy” bronzer. For example, yesterday I blended MAC Sunny By Nature (a medium matte brown) with MAC Cheeky Bronze MSF. Gorge!–didn’t even need blush or finishing powder after that. am now pulling out some older (mostly unused) MSFs and trying them out in conjunction with neutral blushes and matte bronzing powders.

    A piece of popular beauty advice you don’t agree with?

    There are a lot of “natural” beauty treatments which various gurus are all about, one being lemon. Tried some for mild dark spots on my skin and burned the skin so badly had to get medical treatment and treat with salve for months! Found Lancome Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector and it’s finally repairing the damage. After a scolding from my Derm. I now ONLY use products I can buy, not stuff I can whip up unsupervised in my kitchen. Our skin is our largest organ, take advice from medical professionals, not people who have tried stuff and given their reviews, all our skin is different, just like we are! Luckily, I learned my lesson without major damage. Have a great week everyone!

    As a person with hooded eyelids, I really disagree with the conventional wisdom that hooded eyes shouldn’t use shimmery/glittery shades. As long as I put a matte color in my ‘crease’ (aka above my actual crease) I find that I can use whatever shades I want on the lid itself!

    Sounds like a great break! Bath, bottle, bed (by 7 PM) always worked for us when the boys were babies. Not everyone is a fan but we kept to a very strict routine and couldn’t have gotten through without it. 🙂 They needed a lot of sleep and never slept in, no matter what time they went to bed, so they had a 7 PM bedtime through most of elementary school as well. Of course, all kids are different!

    •What are two products you really like to mix together? Ive always mixed together all kinds of products! I hate wasting stuff so I mix what doesn’t work for me to be able to use it. Case in point: lipsticks that are too light, mixed with a black (yes black!) lipgloss. Also, sunscreen and foundation to get a tinted one since most pretinted sunscreens are waaaay to light for me (or most pretinted anything really!) Ive also enjoyed mixing clear nail polishes and eyeshadows to make custom nail colors–great for those shadows that just don’t work for me!

Too many fame-thirst kids trying to gain popularity ASAP so they just do whatever that is ‘in’…resulting in mediocre singing, meaningless lyrics, homogenous melodies with scary amount of auto-tunes, unoriginal dance moves, even similar looks.

    I am on a never-ending search for the perfect, YLBB pink…..therefore, I have soooo many peachy-pink lipsticks & glosses! And it just so happens that about 15 of them are floating around in my purse :-/ Hey, you just never know!

    I looove blushes and cannot get enough of them! They are easy and quick to apply in the morning, and add a nice pop of colour to brighten up the face 🙂
